As the chairman of Guma Local Government, Orwough said he has also recorded significant achievements. He has renovated the local government secretariat, which was in a bad shape when he assumed office. Additionally, he has flagged off the construction of a clinic at Aninge, Mbadwem Council Ward, and is renovating another clinic at Ukaa, Uvir Council Ward. Orwough is also renovating some buildings at LGEA Primary School, Uikpam, and has fixed a transformer at Mbabai Council Ward. Furthermore, he is set to commence work on the construction of bridges along the Daudu-Gadjimba Road, a project that will greatly improve the lives of residents in the area. Orwough also recently sponsored the Benue Youth Cultural Carnival, which had been dormant for over eight years.

The ALGON chairman emphasized Governor Alia’s commitment to youth development, stating that the governor has brought youth into his government and has revived the state’s cultural activities, such as the Benue Youth Cultural Carnival. Orwough said, “The governor has changed the face of the town; you look at it at night, and the town is very bright. In terms of security, before he assumed office, you can agree with me that there were areas you wouldn’t dare step into at night.”

Orwough also noted that the governor’s administration has achieved significant milestones in terms of payment of salaries and arrears, saying, “The governor pays salaries on the 22nd; the local government is also paying the same, so pensioners are smiling.” The ALGON chairman expressed his commitment to collaborating with the media to project the activities of the local government and the state administration, saying, “I am open 24 hours; I will appreciate what you are doing if you continue to project the local government.”

Overall, Orwough’s assessment of Governor Alia’s administration is a testament to the governor’s dedication to transforming Benue State and improving the lives of its citizens. As Orwough said, “The achievements are all over everywhere.”
